The blessed Jesus being condemned by Pilate, was crucified at a place called Golgotha, between two thieves. At his death the sun was darkened, the earth shook, the vail of the temple was rent in twain, the graves opened, and many people who had been dead appeared to their friends. This great sacrifice was offered up for out redemption on a Friday, the day of the Jewish passover, and the solemn feast observed by the christian church called Good Friday.
